we cross the english channel but not in
0:07
a boat
0:08
we get some absolutely brilliant drone
0:11
footage
0:14
maybe having a sneaky guinness as well
0:17
and while we're back in the uk
0:20
we get some supplies
0:22
and some bits for upcoming projects
0:25
[Music]
0:38
[Music]
0:45
with travel restrictions being lifted
0:47
around the world or
0:49
most parts of the world
0:51
it was time for us to get back to the uk
0:53
to see the family
0:54
try and get an appointment with a heart
0:56
specialist
0:57
and of course get some bits for the boat
1:02
[Music]
1:18
so
1:20
[Music]
2:04
there are a couple of things that we
2:06
miss about the uk
2:09
and this is one of them
2:13
well
2:14
apart from the trucks in the background
2:17
lovely woodland walks
2:20
just come up a steep hill we've walked
2:23
at three miles
2:25
probably shouldn't be doing it in my
2:27
state but there you go
2:30
only live once
2:32
so here we are back in jolly old england
2:35
and we've come to port silent which is
2:37
one of our favorite uh
2:39
chandler's
2:40
usually really good stocks of everything
2:43
and
2:44
fantastic prices i'll put a link to
2:46
their website because they they'll ship
2:48
to you as well but
2:50
this uh
2:52
pandemic thing seems to have stopped
2:55
so many supply chains from working
2:57
properly
2:58
a couple of bits that we thought they
3:00
would have you know
3:02
they haven't gotten they don't know when
3:03
they're going to get them in but
3:06
um they had got
3:07
the other bits and pieces so port solent
3:10
where we used to have our boat is just
3:12
behind me over here
3:14
and
3:15
one of the three boat yards
3:18
and he's behind me there's a nice
3:20
bavaria
3:21
chopped off up there
3:24
and another boat behind me just about to
3:26
go in with the crane porchester castle
3:28
over there
3:30
and a lovely sunny day a bit of a chill
3:32
in the wind but yeah a lovely sunny day
3:36
oh there we go back in the uk
3:41
i'm back near our old birth again
3:44
my hair old births directly behind me
3:47
and some
3:48
cranes never work here at the weekend i
3:50
can never understand why
3:52
i only do it weekdays
3:54
doesn't make sense
3:57
but hey ho
3:59
port silence up behind me the marine
4:01
superstore
4:02
and uh all the little shops behind
4:06
that
4:07
yeah it's uh
4:09
hasn't changed much in five years we'll
4:11
walk around and
4:12
down the promenade now see if there's
4:14
anyone i know
4:16
maybe having a sneaky guinness as well
4:20
cindy's uh out with a grandson
4:23
and a daughter
4:25
so i can't get away with it they'll
4:27
never know
4:34
so this used to be a like watering hole
4:37
as it were so there's a there's a few
4:39
bars and pubs and
4:41
restaurants along the boardwalk there
4:43
right over there in the distance you can
4:45
see the uh
4:47
the flats
4:49
we used to have a birth there for some
4:50
time
4:53
a bit of difference in the water here so
4:54
in turkey look
4:57
but then this is a locked marina it's uh
5:00
very tidal here
5:03
get five and a half meters of tide here
5:05
on a on a springs
5:07
so uh
5:09
it's locked
5:12
back at the south sea marina
5:15
we uh
5:17
we've had three different boats here
5:21
we were we
5:22
were renting a berth here for nearly
5:27
17 years nearly 18 years
5:33
not lots changed still busy
5:37
lots of barriers around the edge of the
5:39
water and safety features now i guess
5:40
that's the sign of the times
5:44
the nanny state
5:47
good to see that rupert the manager is
5:49
still here
5:50
well two weeks absolutely flew past and
5:54
it was soon time to jump on a train
5:57
and then a plane and then an automobile
6:00
to get back to the boat
6:02
you don't realize until you go back how
6:05
green and pleasant
6:07
the uk really is while i was in the uk i
6:10
couldn't get to see a doctor and i
6:12
couldn't get to see a cardiac specialist
6:14
which is one of the reasons we've been
6:16
back but luckily i managed to speak to a
6:19
cardiac surgeon
6:21
he knows who he is jonathan thank you
6:23
very much great advice
6:25
go on say it you know you want to
6:36
back from the uk
6:39
we have our goodies case and what have
6:41
we got
6:42
in there
6:44
cut the tie wraps off the lock
6:49
right top tip for traveling
6:51
don't buy good cases
6:53
travel home light go to the charity shop
6:56
and buy a case like this
6:59
for three pound 90.
7:03
well that's everything unpacked
7:06
um
7:08
i'll go through most of this stuff
7:10
with you and show you what it is all
7:11
can't show you then they're top secret
7:14
only patreons know about them
7:16
that's for another video another time
7:19
so
7:20
cindy's got some food essentials and
7:22
this is generally stuff that we can't
7:24
get here or is very expensive here um
7:27
quite a few
7:28
jars and of course
7:29
a nice bottle of torny port
7:32
um some vitamins now i'll let her go
7:34
through that with you
7:35
um
7:39
look at that proper clapper board
7:42
i thought was a bit of a joke actually
7:44
um but some other stuff and i'll go
7:46
through these with you in upcoming
7:47
videos this will be an interesting one
7:50
um why do you think we have bought a
7:52
bronze
7:54
three-quarter
7:56
um scoop water inlet through hull
8:01
and a stainless steel
8:03
um ball valve
8:06
and of course
8:07
a three-quarter
8:09
bronze
8:10
brz
8:11
and bronze hotel so something is going
8:15
in the boat
8:16
this is related to that
8:19
and these are related
8:23
um wonder what they are so some boat
8:25
wash as well it's quite expensive here
8:26
and we had some spare room got some of
8:28
that
8:30
spare printer cartridges because we do
8:31
print quite a bit of stuff off and they
8:33
tend to dry out even with leaving them
8:35
in a polythene bag
8:37
and
8:39
a piece of damp sponge
8:41
they they
8:43
tend to dry out in the printer
8:45
um
8:46
these
8:47
so these are actually door handles and
8:50
they're made to go like that
8:52
we have them on our boat
8:55
in that position now these ones are
8:58
stainless steel
9:00
and the hole centers are
9:02
188 millimeters
9:04
sorry 288 millimeters apart so there's a
9:08
reason
9:09
that we've got those i'll show you that
9:11
in a minute actually i'll show you now
9:17
so this is our heads this is our black
9:20
water tank behind there
9:22
push button to release it
9:24
and then it comes out push button that
9:26
side but once you've released those push
9:28
buttons
9:29
it's impossible to lift this up and out
9:33
and i bought these handles that we put
9:35
our towels over as well his and hers
9:38
and despite them saying they were
9:39
stainless steel
9:41
they are actually
9:43
chrome plated
9:45
so we've managed to get some that are
9:46
stainless steel that are the same hole
9:48
size we got them off amazon
9:50
and so i'll be changing those in the
9:52
very near future
9:54
this one here actually goes with those
9:58
and these
10:01
eight two four five
10:03
should be eight of those
10:05
they go with those that for the same
10:06
project
10:08
that's just chalk for that
10:11
these so these are
10:13
whisker pole ends
10:15
they are like
10:16
hens teeth or rocking or
10:19
poo to try and find
10:21
uh over here and when you find them in
10:23
turkey they're
10:25
extortionately expensive
10:28
these two in the uk weren't cheap um
10:32
but what we were able to do is to buy
10:35
those
10:36
um at portsolan
10:38
and then we can find the pole to fit
10:41
these and we know what size pole we need
10:42
for a whisker pole
10:45
it doesn't need to be particularly thick
10:46
and strong
10:47
because uh high aspect ratio
10:51
jib
10:52
some little paint brushes now these were
10:54
really cheap in the uk about one pound
10:57
fifty so what's that about two bucks and
11:00
they're great for getting up and
11:02
lubricating the seacocks when the
11:03
water's out their boats out the water
11:06
these
11:08
if somebody makes these 3d prints these
11:11
and puts a stainless steel ball in the
11:13
end you guys are going to make an
11:15
absolute fortune
11:17
um
11:18
because they rot out nobody's using a
11:20
stainless steel ball don't know why even
11:23
the yamaha ones genuine yamaha ones rot
11:25
out
11:26
so bought a couple of those
11:28
these are for our engine hoist
11:32
again these quite expensive here in
11:34
turkey
11:35
um
11:36
and we wanted um
11:38
a four to one three to one purchase
11:41
we bought those in the uk these are for
11:44
a bimini sides
11:46
these are for the dremel and again had
11:49
trouble getting these but went into a
11:50
lidl
11:53
managed to get those for about one pound
11:55
fifty each again two dollars and a set
11:57
of
11:58
carbide burs
12:01
um
12:02
in here
12:04
we have
12:05
some vinyl and our daughter has vinyl
12:08
printed all new impedance
12:11
logo stickers and uh belt stickers
12:14
for us all in grey i'll show you those
12:16
in a later video
12:18
and
12:20
some
12:20
mop heads for our new polishing machine
12:24
a couple of these for our glasses
12:27
because these are cheaper than buying
12:29
new glasses every time you lose a pair
12:32
that's about it oh other than a new
12:34
printer we bought a new
12:36
low line printer very small printer with
12:39
a scanner on it
12:41
um because our other one's really big
12:43
and it always
12:45
gets in the way
12:48
that is about it um you'll see some of
12:51
this stuff coming up in the in shows
12:53
coming along oh
12:55
oh yeah there
12:56
so we bought this off amazon this is a
12:59
bag which is 40 liters when it's
13:02
when it's opened out it falls down to
13:04
this ideal for the boat
13:06
and finally
13:08
we're gonna do a whole video on this one
13:11
so we have bought um a tablet
13:15
and we've put navionics on it we've also
13:18
got on here let's see if i can find it
13:22
no not close all we want that one
13:29
that's it
13:30
so we've also got on here
13:32
anchor light google earth predict wind
13:35
open cpn charts
13:38
and i think we put navally on here as
13:40
well we've got netflix on here
13:44
we've got a 64.
13:47
i gigabyte card
13:49
for this as well it's got 32 in it at
13:52
the moment
13:54
and this is going to be our secondary
13:59
navigation
14:01
aid and the reason that we've
14:03
gone for
14:05
um
14:07
the
14:09
navionics
14:10
is that navionics cards on our garmin
14:14
are now
14:16
um
14:17
out of date they're
14:19
2018
14:21
and they wanted 260 odd pound just to
14:24
update them
14:26
so um
14:29
rocks and reefs don't tend to move
14:31
although marinas and stuff does this
14:34
will give us a lot more detail we'll go
14:36
into
14:37
how this works and the other systems
14:39
that work around it i think in another
14:41
video but
14:43
80 pounds for
14:45
the tablet thank you cindy 80 pounds for
14:48
the tablet and um
14:51
i think it was 23 pounds for the
14:52
navionics charts for the mediterranean
14:55
and all of the black
14:56
sea and that was our final purchase that
15:00
we bought back
15:04
what is it it's a burger maker we i make
15:07
all our our own beef burgers i don't
15:09
like shop bought ones
15:11
but i do have trouble
15:12
getting them to be a uniform shape
15:14
we used to have a brilliant one when we
15:16
lived in the uk a big metal one but it's
15:18
too heavy for the boat
15:19
so i gave that to my daughter-in-law
15:21
and now i have a plastic one so i'm very
15:23
happy
15:25
what else did you buy darling other than
15:27
tawny paul obviously that's mine
15:30
um i like this
15:33
yeah
15:34
and i've tried making my own over here
15:36
but you just you get different flavored
15:39
stock cubes over here
15:41
yeah you can't get all the ingredients
15:43
so while i was back there i just took
15:45
the advantage of being very lazy and
15:48
all sorts of mug shots because i love
15:49
these what was the the golden vegetable
15:52
rice what is that then that's
15:54
it's just a savory rice oh that's what
15:56
we have when we have
15:58
something
16:00
for
16:01
when we have something with chicken we
16:03
have
16:03
sauce on it yeah and i like it with
16:06
chicken
16:09
coriander and these are just lazy things
16:12
because i mean i love cooking but it's
16:13
limited on the boat and summer's coming
16:15
and i don't want to spend all day
16:17
cooking i want to go swimming hmm
16:19
so while i had the chance
16:31
maynard's wine gums
16:33
possibly the best wine gums in the world
16:36
this is homemade
16:38
chili jam made by john thanks john
16:40
i'm looking forward to opening that yeah
16:42
so john some of you may know in the
16:44
early days we used john's blues music in
16:47
um
16:48
in our early videos until it started
16:50
getting copyright hits but um john and
16:53
anna thank you very much for letting us
16:55
stay yeah again
16:57
that would we've been friends with them
16:58

17:01
brilliant and john makes his own chili
17:03
jam
17:04
chili jam
17:05
chilis and everything i like the way
17:07
it's in an old
17:08
old el paso hot
17:10
what else
17:12
just pick a lily things that i can't
17:15
always get
17:16

17:18
i didn't see any branston pickle you've
17:20
eaten it already
17:23
yellow pickle
17:24
i love yellow pickle lovely with cold
17:27
meat you can get it out here in the
17:29
really touristy places but i mean that
17:31
cost me a pound i think in tesco's
17:33
whereas over here it'd be about four
17:34
pounds and we had we had some spare
17:37
weight allowance didn't we
17:38
what else it's awesome mint jelly mint
17:41
sauce and mint jelly oh marmite
17:44
marmite you can't get marmite well again
17:48
you can in the tourists like mars for
17:50
example yeah they've got a english
17:52
import shop yeah you can get all this
17:53
but i mean this is about seven pound in
17:55
there yeah equivalent of seven quid and
17:58
all our aussie all our aussie mates
17:59
that's vegemite it's veggie mod for you
18:02
guys
18:03
and bob real don't forget the both real
18:05
that's mine
18:06
no that's mine no that's mine you have
18:08
that disgusting no i'm having that i'm
18:10
wearing that one and just things like
18:12
that lazy garlic i did get a lot of lazy
18:14
chili
18:15
when david caroline came back and and of
18:18
course where are my birdie bassets i've
18:20
hidden them
18:21
you've hidden me birdie basses
18:25
fruit
18:26
fruit pistols there we go
18:29
30 bassets licorice all sorts
18:31
so this again this is main arts now but
18:34
they've got to last you a year
18:35
these these are licorice and they're
18:37
probably not that good for you but it
18:39
stops you getting worms licorice
18:43
they're lovely
18:44
no that's that's effect
18:46
i just bought lots of bits and bobs that
18:48
make my life easier food wise don't
18:50
forget you need to do your clapperboard
18:52
thing at the beginning and end
18:56
we're now professionals apart from it
18:58
says hollywood on there we are working
19:00
our way through the pile i've just
19:03
undone the tube
19:05
and the tube contains
19:08
something that my daughters must get
19:10
these printers stuff out the way my
19:12
daughter's made for us new impervidus
19:16
logo
19:19
logos for the for the aft
19:22
and for the forward
19:24
and some spare of the grey now she's
19:26
actually got a business that makes these
19:29
um
19:31
in in
19:33
and she's going to gear up and start
19:34
producing boat packs for people um we'll
19:37
do something on that in a future video
19:40
but uh
19:42
yeah
19:43
these are
19:45
durable the reason we're changing airs
19:48
is because we've caught the road locks
19:50
from the dinghy on the aft ones and put
19:54
some big scratches in the vinyl
19:56
and on the forward ones when i was
19:57
polishing up at kekova the other week i
20:00
burnt through one because i'm stupid
20:03
and i didn't use enough water coolant on
20:06
the sponge
20:07
garden kneelers we had some on the boat
20:11
we threw them away before we left and i
20:13
don't know why we did that
20:15
if you're working on the deck you know
20:16
repairing something doing some polishing
20:18
or something like that these things are
20:20
brilliant and they save your knees
20:22
um they are 75 pence each less than a
20:26
pound what's that
20:28
150 us something like that 130 us
20:32
and they're great and it saves your
20:33
knees you don't wake up in the middle of
20:34
the night with cramp or achy knees
20:37
and you can still walk to the pub the
20:39
next day
20:40
so get them all sounds like marty's
20:42
ready
20:44
hey ho
20:45
now
20:46
what we have got on this boat is the
20:48
varnish
20:50
is not
20:51
um
20:53
it's a satin varnish it's not high sheen
20:56
uh or room gloss but what we have got is
21:00
we've got one of these
21:01
we got this from
21:03
a reputable german
21:06
multinational shop
21:08
littles
21:10
and you just
21:11
color in any
21:14
like scratches
21:16
with this pen
21:20
and it makes any marks
21:30
just disappear
21:33
now i know the purists among you
21:36
will be saying yeah you really need to
21:38
sand it down
21:40
with 120 grit and then apply
21:43
a soft sheen varnish
21:46
that's the proper way to do it
21:48
only this is a lot quicker
21:52
gets
21:54
just as good results
21:57
and i don't need to carry heaps of
21:58
varnish and wait until
22:00
it's a overcast day and not a sunny day
22:04
